Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 34 Imagining a Mistake and Making the Best of a Mistake
"Is this a dragon?"

"You call this 'juvenile'? It's already over ten meters long, and almost two stories tall when half-standing. You're telling me this can only be considered a dragon cub?"

Well, I have to say, the fourth-tier advancement really gave Lin Ke a big surprise.

The Rock Dragon Giant Lizard, which evolved into the Rock Steel Giant Dragon, is already a typical example of a successful bloodline reversion.

Two more skills were added, and even another low-level Gale Leopard bloodline was promoted to a mid-level bloodline.

Moreover, looking at the current growth rate of 85%, Lin Ke now has a better understanding of the situation.

In this game, even if a Rock Steel Dragon advances from a low-level to a mid-level, the corresponding 'experience' reward will be the same.

It doesn't have the weird mechanics of typical "trash games" on Earth where higher-level players consume the "experience" of lower-level players.

Before advancing, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's growth rate is 25%.

Lin Ke received a 160% growth bonus.

Thus, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard evolved into the Rock Steel Giant Lizard, and its current growth rate is also 85%.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that the current 'real games' are truly conscientious!

Of course, besides the fair rules of the game, what surprised Lin Ke the most was that the Rock Steel Dragon now has an additional way to play, or even an ability.

That's similar to a transformation spell, allowing one to change the appearance of other bloodline beasts already present within the body.

Currently, the form that the Rock Steel Dragon can transform into is the so-called Gale Leopard.

Flying Leopard?

A leopard that can fly?

It's truly a fantasy world; even leopards can fly.

Lin Ke was very curious and didn't even pay much attention to York and his companion, who were waiting quietly a hundred meters away.

"Come on! Show me one first!"

Having entered the game three times, Lin Ke was now very familiar with the body of the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard—no, now the Rock Steel Giant Dragon.

The power from his bloodline, the inherited abilities from the Rock Steel Dragon—Lin Ke could mobilize all of these at will with just a thought.

There was absolutely no awkwardness; it felt as perfect as if it were his own body.

In reality, he is a player, a human, but here, he is a Warcraft, a Rock Steel Dragon.

And then, in the next moment...

The newly formed fourth-tier body of the Rock Steel Dragon seemed to be constantly collapsing and regressing inwards, and even its torso began to undergo a complete transformation.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the rock-steel dragon that had appeared in York and Lucia's eyes vanished completely.

Instead, a magnificent cheetah, nearly four meters long, was seen.

Cheetahs have smooth white fur with blue stripes, and a pair of wings on their backs.

However, compared to the wings of the Rock Steel Dragon, these wings look more like the feathers of a hawk.

Its wingspan exceeds six meters, and it is both agile and lustrous.

Clearly, these wings were capable of carrying the cheetah into the sky.

However, the wings of the Rock Steel Dragon were clearly not enough before.

As Lin Ke sensed the information about a bloodline inheritance power emanating from his mind, he couldn't help but feel excited.

And so, under the somewhat dumbfounded gazes of York and Lucia, the Gale Leopard soared into the sky in the next moment!
Flying was an experience Lin Ke had never had before.

Listening to the howling wind in my ears, feeling as if I'm free from the constraints of the earth, this sense of freedom is incredibly comfortable.

However, Lin Ke did not get carried away with his success.

He merely controlled the flying leopard to circle twice in the air at a height of a thousand meters in the center of the swamp before landing back on the ground.

He landed about fifty meters away from York and Lucia.

After retracting its wings, the Gale Leopard's entire body seemed to surge forth as if its flesh and blood were gushing out, transforming back into the massive Rock Steel Dragon, a form far larger than the leopard.

[The player switches back to their main form, and the current form transformation gameplay cooldown begins, lasting 6 hours.]

A stream of information appeared in Lin Ke's mind.

Linko paid no attention to this. At this moment, York and Lucia had obviously recovered from their surprise at Linko's transformation into two forms and had hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, carrying the child.

York raised his head and shouted, while kneeling down with his sword in hand, looking very spirited and confident.

"Praise be to the great and noble Your Majesty!"

"Your faithful servant, York Smith, has come to see you by divine decree!"

Lucia shouted along, and at the same time, she knelt down with York.

Looking down at the two things in front of you.

Well, from Lin Ke's current perspective as a dragon, he and his wife really seem rather small.

However, Lin Ke still maintained a certain friendly attitude.

The dragon slowly lowered its body, bringing its massive head as close as possible to the front of both heads.

At the same time, Lin Ke said in a gentle tone:
"Good, everyone get up."

Upon hearing this, York and Lucia immediately bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, the two hurriedly stood up, and then the deity spoke again.

“My servant, you look much more energetic now than before.”

Lin Ke's sudden remark took York by surprise, but he quickly recovered and immediately said seriously:

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

"All of this is thanks to Your Majesty's repeated divine favor; otherwise, there would be no York as we know it today!"

"Therefore, in York's view, all glory belongs to the great His Majesty!!!"

York's face did not show the obsequious attitude he was expected to display; instead, it showed the demeanor of a true knight responding to his lord's seriousness.

And so what if York is flattering the dragon?
Lin Ke definitely liked listening to it.

Look, this is what a smart person looks like! Lin Ke felt very pleased with these words.

Lin Ke smiled inwardly, then thought for a moment and said:
“My servant, you do not need to belittle yourself, nor do you need to attribute all good changes to the favor of the gods.”

“My servant, you must know that even if the favor of the gods is insignificant to the gods, it is not bestowed upon any mortal at will.”

"At least, this is the favor I bestowed."

"Because I only bestow divine favor upon those who are prepared and hardworking, and my servant, you happen to be such a mortal worthy of my favor and even my blessing."

“Look, didn’t you do very well sixty days ago? That’s one of the reasons I favor you.”

Lin Ke's tone was extremely gentle, even carrying a high degree of praise.

For a noble knight, the greatest reward is undoubtedly the recognition of his 'lord' or 'god' for his own efforts.

Therefore, York immediately learned everything that had happened that year; His Majesty, in fact, knew everything.

Therefore, he immediately stood up straight, both excited and polite, and loudly addressed Lin Ke:

"Thank you for your recognition, Your Majesty!"

"Everything is for His Majesty's glory! Everything is for upholding the code of chivalry!"

"Knight York, of the Smith family of Swamp Territory, will forever serve Your Majesty and clear away all obstacles to Your Majesty's divine descent to earth!"

York assured that he was speaking from the heart and even felt that his words were perfectly reasonable and appropriate.

However, Lin Ke suddenly paused for a moment.

The first two sentences by Lin Ke sounded pretty good, but what the heck was that last sentence?

Clear away the obstacles that God might bring to the mortal world?

York? Did he even misunderstand something with his wife?!

Should we deny their vague and unfounded assumptions? Or should we just go along with it?
Okay, after thinking for a moment, Linke finally chose to accept the default.

Because Lin Ke discovered that their overthinking and perpetuating the error didn't seem to be a bad thing for him.

"Have a heart"
